Sera from 38 tuberculous patients and 62 healthy controls (31 PPD skin test positive and 31 negative) were assayed, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), to test the activity of IgG and IgM antibodies against purified protein derivative (PPD) antigen and a phenolglycolipid antigen (PLG-Tb 1) isolated and purified from Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain Canetti. Using PPD antigen, the sensitivity and specificity were respectively, 50 and 93.5% for IgG and 71.1 and 59.7% for IgM antibody activity. Against PGL-Tb 1 antigen, IgG had a sensitivity of 94.7% and the specificity was 96.8%, for IgM antibody they were 65.8% and 75.8% respectively. The ELISA using PGL-Tb 1 antigen could be a useful way to develop a rapid technique to aid in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
采用酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测了38例结核病患者及62名健康对照者(31名PPD皮肤试验阳性,31名阴性)的血清,以检测针对纯化蛋白衍生物(PPD)抗原以及从结核分枝杆菌卡内蒂菌株中分离纯化出的酚糖脂抗原(PLG-Tb 1)的IgG和IgM抗体活性。使用PPD抗原时,IgG抗体活性的敏感性和特异性分别为50%和93.5%,IgM抗体活性的敏感性和特异性分别为71.1%和59.7%。针对PGL-Tb 1抗原,IgG的敏感性为94.7%,特异性为96.8%,IgM抗体的敏感性和特异性分别为65.8%和75.8%。使用PGL-Tb 1抗原的ELISA法可能是开发一种有助于结核病诊断的快速技术的有用方法。
